wake up little child

It is my desire to free the inner child, to see like a child sees, to be in awe of my surroundings.

Wake up, little child, come out of hiding
I don't, i don't want to hurt you anymore
I want to see the world through your eyes.

talking heads

turned on but muted
the light, the camera, the suicide
what drove you to the rafters?

wrist cut your dreams
wrist cut your dreams
a ghost who had it all, so it seemed... (more)

everytime you show yourself

every time you show yourself
i'll let your image float away
I'll let your image float away
you have no power
you have no power
you have no power over me

Rest

I am simply loved
I can rest in this

(it does me good to remember this)

For a friend

Written for a friend of mine.

be and i will be with you
you are a light house in this storm
you will overcome
you will overcome this storm

don't fear the wall for... (more)

Jesu se milan

I was inspired by the music of a friend of mine, their band is called Aradhna and you might like to check them out. I've attempted to compose a song in the Hindi language and here it is.

Haiti

I was thinking about Haiti...

i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel
when i'm way over here
and things are going well
my house is standing still
my friends... (more)

a love so strong

Emotions get the best of me sometimes and this is what comes of it....
Gotta pour out my heart.

i loved you i did
but i had to let you go

and i chose again and again... (more)

more often (rpm)

How good it is when I feel whole, complete, not lacking anything at all.
And i feel this way when I am with you...
nothing needs to be said, i can just sit and be still.

within me (rpm)

This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.

God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here

taking my time (rpm)

this song is basicly about taking my time...taking my time to feel the earth, the sun. Not looking over the fence for something better.

taking my time
no longer rushing down the... (more)

this is the moment (rpm demo)

This songs reminds me that this is the moment i have. No longer looking for the dawn for the dawn is here.

This is the moment
this is the moment
that i've been... (more)

The Joining

Here is the "more complete" track I promised with backing vocals.

A song about loving the real me...who do i see when i look in the mirror? Do I love what I see?....i really want to.

stained shoes

This is an old one...just wanted to share it.

Zephyr ride

this little tune is written after i took a trip out to Calgary and back riding the Zephyr all the way.

rise above

this song speaks of the putting aside of guilt and walking hand in hand with my inner self into each and every day...rejoicing.

river

I'm learning to 'listen' to the 'flow' of life all around me and not get so caught up in little things that don't really matter.
Learning to enjoy! Life is good...

the bell

this is a scratch...something i'm working on. I'll probably throw on some harmonies soon.

Be found

this is just a scratch i'm working on. I might change a bit of the verse, but what do you think? How's the melody in this one?
Thanks,

Anthony

on fire (rpm demo)

this too shall pass (rpm demo)

learning....forever learning to look beyond the circumstance, look beyond the pain, and maybe find peace through the pain....

rpm the wind and her voices demo

This song was inspired by the Life of Pi...and yes, i feel like a drifter at times, floating, going no where.

all roads

Ok...here's another one for the rpm. Just got thinking about religion, God, truth, love, unity. Been reading the "The life of Pi" - well anyway it got the gears turning. Again, enjoy and if you'd like... (more)

rpm I'll meet you there demo

this is just the basics...give it a listen and let me know what you think. It's all rather raw...lots more to be done. :)

pack it up

reasonable

who am I trying to please?

clown

sometimes I am just sick of smiling...pretending all is ok when in fact it is not. Just wanting to scream ...dropping the barrier i hide behind.

Time to meet the bear

this song comes from a part of me that does not often see the light. It is a song of defeat and surrender. Sorry, I can't say more...

mimic

Just thinking about halloween...

knuckle

well...this song is about letting go...sometimes so hard.

Elephant

I've written this song in response to a video I saw that depicted the way animals are treated in the Circus. It was quite horrible...left me feeling sick to my stomach.

done with keepin up

well....this song was written after a long conversation with a friend of mine. We talked about making a difference in the lives of those around us. How is that done? Is it done by working like... (more)

let it fall

this song is about entering the space of friends, brothers, loved ones.... it's about entering their sadness, their joy, their pain. Journeying along side those I love and finding out that so often I... (more)

Suspect Eyes

This song describes the part of my life journey that i find myself in these days. Seeking inward peace, knowing that I must continue to search....

Armoured Cars

This song was written for a festival of Peace that took place in St. Catharines, On, in June of 2008

Stitches

A couple of years ago i went through some pretty intense surgeries and i think this song describes the fear, pain and uncertainty that i felt during those times.

Again....thank you for listening.

alarming speeds

swerving off the road...coming so close to the ever waiting trees...
sometimes, yes, sometimes this is the space I find myself in.

the getaway

Hello everyone, I've done some work on this tune and uploaded the new one - enjoy.

She's Fallen

"so please tell me where is love?" i ask myself this question and I look for the answer in myself and in the world around me and often times I have a hard time finding the answer. I also ask myself the... (more)

over and over

The bloody river

I'm human....I bleed. I guess i need to remember that....I'm not superhuman and I won't save the world. The opposite usually occurs...I am swept away in the bleeding of my mind, the bleeding of... (more)
